June 4-10 Andrew & I vacationed in the Riviera Maya, Mexico to celebrate our 6th anniversary. We stayed at the Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe. It was wonderful! It was forecasted to rain the whole week but luckily it only rained the first two days with some dry spots in the afternoon. We enjoyed just walking around the resort and enjoying the scenery and wildlife. There were tons of iguanas, beautiful birds that would not stay put for a picture, and a ring tailed coati that I was able to sneak up on to get a picture. We saw a sea turtle off the pier, numerous fish and crabs and enjoyed watching the pelicans hunt for fish We spent our days there going to breakfast, swimming in the pool, going to lunch, swimming in the Caribbean, laying on the beach, enjoying delicious suppers and watching a show at night. Swimming and eating pretty much sums it up! We ate at a different restaurant every night. Our favorite two were the French and Seafood Restaurant. Best food I've ever tasted! Andrew ordered some new foods we had never had and then I tried them. I wasn't brave enough to order them for myself. We tried Octopus, Swordfish, and Escargot(cooked snails)- which really freaked me out to watch him dig them out of the shells but they were delicious!
